Jelly Rolls - Unroll or Not?
 

I've purchased several Moda Jelly Rolls and was just wondering ... until you use them, do you keep them rolled up or do you unroll? I'm really wanting to unroll them just to look at the wonderful fabrics , but at the same time, leaving them rolled saves so much space. What do you do? Also, how do you store them? Mine are just in drawers.

I leave them in the roll. I love to admire them.

If you unroll them you can't roll them back up without the roll looking a mess. The strips will stay flat and wrinkle free if left rolled up until ready to use. I keep mine in a big basket. I love how it looks in my sewing room. Makes me smile when I see them.

Everyone has good advice, but how do you resist??? LOL

Some are so pretty I'm not sure I could EVER unroll them! I love the rainbow solids. :)

When I use a jelly roll I always buy another one to replace it. Not the same fabric though.

They are so pretty rolled up that I wouldn't unroll until it was time to use them.

Well, I believe that answers it for me! I have a very pretty basket in the garage that would just need dusting off. Looks like it has a new purpose now, to hold those beautiful Jelly Rolls! Thanks so much for your responses!

It is so hard not to unroll them to look at the beautiful fabrics. I have unrolled them .. and gotten them back to sort of look like they just came from the store.

They are beautiful, but after several rolls, I decided to make my own. I can wash the fabric first and also I'll know the strips are straight. The downside is I probably won't have as many choices as the rolls do.
